* Description
This layer adds a search driven note taking system into Spacemacs.
** Features:
- Browsing and creating notes with a powerful search function via [[http://jblevins.org/projects/deft/][Deft]].
- Integration of =org-mode= as note editor.
- Configurable list of extensions to recognize as notes.
- Zettelkasten system with [[https://github.com/EFLS/zetteldeft][zetteldeft]]
* Install
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =deft= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
** Zetteldeft
Zetteldeft support is included with the layer. To enable it, set the layer variable ~deft-zetteldeft~ to ~t~:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(deft :variables deft-zetteldeft t)
#+END_SRC
** Configuration
By default deft tries to put notes in =~/.deft= but you can change
this in your =dotspacemacs/user-config= function:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq deft-directory "~/Dropbox/notes")
#+END_SRC
By default =Deft= uses filenames for note titles and =org-mode= for editing.
The default extension for new notes is =org=. However also =md= and =txt=
files are recognized as notes. Which extensions are used for notes discovery
can be configured in your =dotfile=:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq deft-extensions '("org" "md" "txt"))
#+END_SRC
Just add or substitute your preferred extension.
